I have heard the two side-by-side and the ifi wind sound wise by large! The DAC is way better and also the amp. But the user experience is better on the naim.

The effect audio is so expensive!!!! any ideas where to get it to an acceptable price? Hello from Potsdam to Berlin!

Hi Phiemon, You got the Trifecta again??? You chose the golden one over the blue one, and let me have the blue one?🤣 I sit with your old blue one in a hammock right now! Which cable are you using? Iris

I am now a proud owner of the trifecta! It was fun and a pleasure to make business with Stefano, his gear was in top condition and he is very cooperative and reliable.

Eletech Inferno - better bass, less sibilance: the sound gets thick and 3d like - absolutely addictive!

I listen to it with the Liric with an excellent copper cable (Eletech inferno) - thick, magical and addictive!

I auditioned the Sony but went for the A&K: I love the velvet sound signature!

Just now listening to Astell&Kern sp 3000 with the Elite - Dream Team and portable!!!!

I have the same problem: I need the TPU case beceause my Eletech Inferno cables are too thick for the original case!

I agree wholeheartedly with you! I love my Meze Liric with the Inferno: compared to the Meze upgrade silver cable, which is also great, it is just more full bodied, three-dimensional, deeper and more visceral. The only downside is that the cable it is pretty heavy and the plug is so thick that...

What a relief!😉

I’m very sorry to report the following: even though the pro I can signature sounds excellent with a DAP, the pro IDSD signature with the pro iDSD sounds breathtaking! It’s still a huge step up - but you can first enjoy it with the DAP and then hope that Santa Claus brings a Pro IDSD !

I recommend also a campfire iem: I have got the solaris 2020 special edition and love the punchiness and musicality -sublime

Then I would suggest get a bigger Astell&Kern: I have the SE 200 - it sounds divine - I’m just selling it right now because I’m also using it with my Meze Elite and for that the Fiio is better because it has more power. But you don’t need the power for an iem.

I see that you have a similar set up to mine. If you love the ifi pro amp and dac the Fiio m17 fits the soundsignature - lively and punchy. I also saw that you have the Astell&Kern- I had it as well and I loved it - it is more delicate and airy - but for commuting the best you can get. I...
